A seat for providing an improved level of protection to a child by reducing the amount of force restraining straps exert upon the child during a collision. The seat includes a seat frame and a cover positioned over the seat frame to provide comfort to a seat occupant. The seat frame includes a seat back with a slot for receiving a strap for restraining a seat occupant and an energy absorbing member. The energy absorbing member reduces the amount of force applied by the strap to the seat occupant...

A circuit for controlling at least one circuit breaker switch that is series connected between a source of electrical power and an electrical load. The circuit includes a programmed controller having at least two inputs and at least one output. A current sensor senses the current between the source and the load and has an output connected to a controller input. Another controller input is connected to the control input of a load power switch. The control output of the controller is connected to ...

A warming blanket for use by individuals is provided. The warming blanket has an integrated heat coil which can be heated up by a pair of attached battery packs. Each of the battery packs is removably attached and includes at least one battery. The warming blanket is ideally used as an extra safety feature for vehicles in case the vehicle is stranded during very cold or very bad weather, such as a snowstorm, in which warmth may play a crucial role in the survival of individuals within the vehicl...

The invention relates to safety razors having a blade unit carried on a handle that includes a vibration mechanism and a control device for controlling operation of the vibration mechanism, the control device being connected to an electrode arrangement that can comprise a blade and an electrically conductive casing of the handle, to detect water so that the vibration mechanism is activated in response to the blade unit being immersed into a body of water for rinsing.

A safety hook includes: a hook body defining a hook mouth; a latch unit including a latch plate pivoted to the hook body so as to be rotatable between locked and unlocked positions, the latch plate having a blocking plate portion; a releasing unit including a releasing plate pivoted to the hook body, the releasing plate having a driving plate portion; and a safety lock unit including a bent safety plate disposed between the latch plate and the releasing plate, pivotable between restraining and r...

A safety switch that includes a body, a number of contacts, a movable plunger, a signal emitter, and a signal detector. The signal emitter and signal detector are positioned proximate the plunger and configured to assess the operability of the safety switch. The plunger is configured to selectively allow or prevent passage of a signal emitted from the signal emitter toward the signal detector depending on a position of the plunger. Control circuitry in connection with the signal detector is arra...

A safety binding device for binding a boot on an alpine ski including a releasable retaining mechanism of the mechanical, hydraulic, viscoelastic type, which actuate a release as a function of the forces to which the boot is subjected and as a function of the duration .DELTA.t of the application of such forces. The release action occurs as soon as the magnitude of the force is greater than an actual release threshold, Sr, which is dependent upon the duration .DELTA.t of the application of force,...

A vertical sleeve secured to a side of a structure on which a man is working receives and supports the lower end portion of a pole that has a much longer inclined upper portion so that its upper end will be directly above a point spaced laterally from the sleeve. A safety line suspended from the upper end of the pole is connected to a safety belt worn by the workman and is long enough to permit him to work close to the sleeve. The pole is rotatable in the sleeve to allow its upper end to be move...

The present invention provides for a universal safety syringe adapter that allows for a standard syringe, vacuum tube or other medical device to be quickly modified to have a protective sheath which may be deployed automatically upon activation of a release member with a single hand in order to propel the protective sheath from a retracted position to an extended position covering a needle in order to avoid sharps injuries and protect medical or other professionals using the instrument. The pres...
